Chapter 8: Crimson Fangs—The Tempest
The fin whale class, the fin whale class was designed and built by Outer Space United Mining Group to meet the growing demand for flagship industrial platforms to support and undertake large-scale deep space mining. The main advantage of the www.biquge.info fin whale grade is that it can grind the raw ore into smaller particles without destroying its specific molecular structure. This means that ships can carry large quantities of ore in compressed form.
It also has a sizable drone cabin, cloning pod, and jump engine. Combined, these factors make the fin whale class a highly desirable link for deep space mining operations. Due to its specialization in industrial operations, its ship maintenance bay can only accommodate industrial ships, mining barges, and their secondary tech derivatives.
Combine harvesting enterprises
Combine harvesting was born ten years ago as a result of the merger of several agro-mining companies. It is one of the world's largest raw material companies, carrying out a wide variety of resource gathering operations both domestically and internationally.
They have thousands of fin whale-class industrial flagships, second only to the Outer Space Mining Consortium in number. Lu Lu looked at the data in front of him with a very regretful look. Unfortunately, at present, other manufacturing groups have not been able to decipher the design drawings of such an industrial flagship, which has led to all mining groups having to buy finished products on the market.
Isaac. Issaen, a pure-blood Emma, had the privilege of serving as the captain of the industrial flagship of the [Maizarin] a few years ago. For this, his family received knighthoods from the Empire. From an ordinary commoner, he became a member of the aristocratic class of the empire.
Pride or pride, for he is the supreme commander of this mining fleet, and even the commander of the cruiser detachment must be respectfully addressed to him, Mr. Sir.
Perhaps it was the habitual inertia, and Isaen, who was proud of the large gains that were about to enter his wallet, did not know that in this galaxy, a pack of hungry wolves had been staring at his Maizarin treasure for a long time.
"Report, a jumping wind tunnel was detected in the nearby airspace. Distance 120000. The loud report of the crew in charge of monitoring the radar interrupted Isane's smug mood.
Swaggering ...... The Boreas, the size of a high-speed frigate, jumped to a distance of only 120 km from Mazelin. Immediately, with the North Wind as the center, hundreds of escort-level warships appeared, and immediately after, an overwhelming artillery bombardment fell on the thick armor of the fin whale class.
"Attack, attack......" Issa subconsciously shouted, he knew that this group of pirates was prepared. Ness, where is your fleet? ”
On a heavy cruiser dozens of kilometers away, the captain of the cruiser escort of Mazelin, Nes. Anganta rudely pulled open his collar.
"Shut up, Issaen, I'm organizing the defense. And Mazelin is still outside the maximum range of the frigate. ”
In fact, the first to discover the jump tunnel was the cruiser [Luka], which was on an electronic warfare mission, but by the time Luka's captain sent an alert message to the entire fleet, communications had already been disrupted, so the alert was not sent out in time.
However, for a well-trained fleet, communication jamming is the signal for the start of the battle. Although, they do not yet know, where the enemy is.
On the right, azimuth 22, 19,368...... Distance one or two OOOO, a lot of them. "Anxious report of the radar crew on the Luca.
"Turn on the anti-jamming device, cooperate with the flagship's radar array, and show the enemy's queue......"
This is a group of pirates with no organization and no discipline.
On the radar, the chaotic formations, and the chaotic public channels all speak volumes about this fact. This has happened to Ness many times, and this time there are a little more pirates, but it is still the same as before, and his powerful fleet of cruisers can easily drive them away.
"Fooled, idiot." Lu Lu leisurely lit a cigarette. Watching the Emma convoy turn slowly and aim the bow of the ship at this side, Lulu turned on the communicator. "Brothers, torpedo these Emma fools."
However, at a distance of 120 kilometers, a large group of torpedoes was released, advancing at a speed of 500 meters per second.
Seven targets were locked, but Lu Lu didn't intend to attack. The accomplices of the fleet have enough power to eat these poor guys.
On the tactical coverage display of the North Wind, Lu Lu clearly looked at the frigate group he was in, the Emma fleet, and the cruiser group of the special service fleet, and the three parts showed a straight line.
"Torpedo attack, 100000 distance."
The voice of the radar soldiers on the convoy shouted, with unspeakable mockery.
"What?" Ness froze. At such a long distance, it will take a long time for the torpedo to come over. "First detachment, stay on alert. The others followed me and wiped out the pirates. ”
As the defense fleet began to separate, dozens of blood-red cruisers slowly appeared in the rear of the Emma battle line. It was a simple stealth device, and in this state the speed of the cruiser would drop to an outrageous level.
"The Storm Fleet is all there, target Emma Cruiser, three salvos." The 720-caliber guns of the cruiser fleet mercilessly spewed out neat flashes. Where there is still a trace of miscellaneous pirates. The Empire's most elite fleet is nothing more than that.
......This time, before the Emma could react, the Emma was attacked like a storm. A large number of shells landed on the ship's armor, and the huge impact caused the ship to shake constantly.
"Damn it...... Isahn, contact that bastard from Mardonnius, his fleet is nearby. "Ness knew that he was no match, the pirate's cruiser fleet was well-trained, and at a glance he knew that it was an absolute elite, not only superior to himself in numbers, but also not inferior to his own men in quality.
"No, I'm going to contact the Emma Navy, I'm a noble Imperial nobleman, and I will never ask a Mimatar monkey for help." Isane shouted nervously.
Even his life is gone, and the noble has a fart......
Ness, who was just a citizen, hung up the communicator and shrugged helplessly at the crew members who still trusted him on the ship.
"No way, it seems that after only a few years of becoming a nobleman, Issaen's intelligence has deteriorated."
"Ha, chief, what are we going to do?"
"No, even though Issaan has become an idiot, he's still nice to us, isn't he?" Ness laughed. "For the sake of our families, fight to the death."
"Fight to the death."
Emma's imperial laws, those who retreat from battle, and the whole family is enslaved. And the war dead will be cared for by the nobles, although they will also be sent to the battlefield by these lords in the end. It's also better than having the whole family become slaves, and once you are condemned as a slave, you have nothing, nothing......
Even in a desperate situation, the morale of the Emma people is still high.
Lu Lu flicked his cigarette ash and looked at the message from the same Federation privateer fleet in front of him, all possible variables did not exist. Emma's reinforcements, who are closest to here, have been held back by friendly forces, and even if they call for help, they will not be able to reach out to help.
"Enjoy... This bloody dinner. Marines, ready to strike. "Of course, the soldiers on the North Wind, Lu Lu is still reluctant to let them go, these words are just orders issued to his subordinates as the admiral of the fleet.
"Oh oh oh oh~" Fleet channel with high morale.
The pirate's group of frigates began to accelerate in full swing, and in the process of sprinting, Ness became even more desperate, those who still maintained a clever course of action in the high speed, and the high-speed frigates always hid behind the armored frigates, preferring to spend a little more time than to be one step ahead and expose themselves to artillery fire. What's even more odious is that those torpedoes fired at the beginning of the war also entered the range of process fire at this time.
And we, behind our escort cruiser columns, the pirates are still pouring cannonballs efficiently. Ness smiled wryly, the whole fleet is in chaos at the moment, damn hunters...... He had already remembered that the identity of this group of enemies, the iconic Red Cruisers, clearly stated their identity, the First Special Service Fleet of the Yanhuang Federation, the crimson fangs, and the Storm Legion.
